From the start of YSIV Logic's ambition is clear: to return to the style and energy of 90s boom-bap, redefining the contours of the genre as he sees fit. This fourth edition of the Young Sinatra project sees the rapper paying homage to some of his idols. Kanye West is often there in the background, for example on a very personal and touching version of Last Call. Logic also evokes Nas and Big L on a more cinematic Street Dreams 2. Still produced in large by 6ix, the album's broad scope teems with ideas. Even the smallest detail is a cultural reference to an era, or a state of mind. Logic has fun with the iconic breakbeat of Apache, enjoying funky go-go infused exchanges with Wale on 100 Miles and Running, a reference to a legendary NWA track. Later on the rapper shows some great technique alongside Jaden Smith on ICONIC, like a flashback to Busta Rhymes and Eminem with the son of the Prince of Bel Air. The high-point of this updated boom-bap album has to be Wu Tang Forever, a ‘tour de force’ where Logic reunites the original Wu Tang line-up. In spite of the absence of Old Dirty Bastard, this track has the power of an enthusiastic and spontaneous rap record, the sort Logic takes a lot of inspiration from. With powerful moments of introspection and more playful passages, Logic proves that he is now perfectly able to integrate his influences and make them modern and relevant. A perfect transition album. © Aurélien Chapuis/Qobuz
